Customer Rating: Summary: Reloaded - A Excellent Album Comment: Having recently seen a live concert, "Reloaded" brought back great memories of Tom Jones. The album gives you a wide variety of his musical styles. Some of the new music did not appeal to me but that does not make it bad. This is excellent album for those of us who appreciate his music. Customer Rating: Summary: give this guy a spotlight !!! Comment: Reloaded: Greatest Hits is another budget priced CD chock full of great hits by Tom Jones. Tom can still make the ladies swoon and this is certainly to his credit. The quality of the sound on this album is excellent and I really like the artwork as well. Great! "It's Not Unusual" starts the CD with a bang! Tom swings brightly as he sings this song to perfection--and beyond! The backup singers sound great and the melody gets strength from the brass and more. "It's Not Unusual" is clearly one of Ton Jones' biggest hits ever. "What's New Pussycat?" has Tom singing this very well--and he handles those tempo and key changes so well--what a master! Tom aces this easily and "What's New Pussycat?" is another major highlight of this album. "Delilah" stuns me with its beauty; Tom sings this with passion, heart and soul. I love it! Tom sings this somewhat forlorn love song with heart and soul; and the melody is brilliantly done. "Delilah" is one of my favorite Tom Jones hits; I listen to this all the time when I put on a Tom Jones CD! Listen also for "She's A Lady;" this ode to his one true love features Tom squarely front and center--and Tom takes every advantage of this opportunity! The melody works wonders for this number and Tom handles tempo changes effortlessly. I'm amazed! "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" is another huge ballad previously done by Three Dog Night that really impresses me; you're bound to love this tune if you haven't heard it yet! "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has Tom doing a fine duet with Cerys Matthews and this gets the royal treatment for sure! "Black Betty" has Tom doing a much more modern song that we're used to hearing from Tom; but it all holds its own very well. I commend Tom for keeping up with the times! Tom never misses a beat and this is fantastic. "Green, Green Grass Of Home" is an older Tom Jones hit with a country twist that makes this tune very memorable. I really like "Green, Green Grass Of Home;" this is exquisite when Ton Jones sings this so passionately. "Without Love (There Is Nothing)" is another newer Tom Jones hit and it's really very good. I like some of these newer tunes recorded by Tom. It proves he's a timeless master and I can really appreciate that. "Without Love (There Is Nothing)" tugs at my heartstrings and I think you'll like this ballad, too. "Help Yourself" has a solid melody and Tom handles this like the pro he was and still remains! The CD concludes very well with Tom and The Cardigans performing "Burning Down The House." This much newer hit rocks and I think Tom handles it quite well. Impressive! Tom Jones remains a huge master; he's clearly one of the best male vocalists of the entire twentieth century. Woo hoo! This is great for fans of Tom Jones; and newcomers to Tom Jones will appreciate this CD as well. Customer Rating: Summary: Greatest hits with a few others ! Comment: I love Tom and his music but simply, this is an updated greatest hits. Record companies love to do re-issues since it doesn't cost much and it makes a profit. I think Tom has about 15 compilations hanging out there. I prefer the newer stuff of course but do enjoy the older stuff. On this one, my favorite has to be the duet with Van Morrison, "Sometimes We Cry". Other than that, it's great having all of his hits like Tunderball, If I Only Knew and She's A lady, all in one collection. Can never get enough Tom Jones ! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Tom Jones all but invented saucy power pop back before the sixties even started to swing when his second single "It's Not Unusual" rocketed up the UK charts in 1965. After that initial triumph the singer never looked back, tying his hair back with a thin black ribbon and putting some rather expressive body English into his stage moves, which assured that the stage floor would be routinely pelted with various undergarments pitched by enthusiastic fans. Almost four decades later both Jones and his audience are no less fervent as Wales' second-most famous export runs through his extensive and varied songbook, still imbuing his old chestnuts like "What's New Pussycat?" and "Delilah" with a sense of naughty fun and irony. But Jones is at his best while giving the latest generation of rockers a run for their money, as he pairs up with the likes of Wyclef Jean, the Sterophonics, Art of Noise, the Cardigans, and Mousse T; as he overhauls staid tired standards like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" or "Baby It's Cold Outside" with his arch humor and gutsy delivery. Prince's "Kiss" crackles with an inner light that even the great Minneapolis savant didn't intend, while his duet with Portishead is as cold and disturbing as a grave. A must have album. --Jaan Uhelszki
